What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

LitterRobot 3 -- Died after a year.. I am not spending money on repairing it as I think the design is fundamentally flawed (DFI system gets pee and litter in it by design and fails). LitterRobot 4 fixes SOME of the issues but I am not dropping that much money on another robot litter box..

I loved not having to scoop so regularly and the immediate clean cycle actually made the litter last longer with just a few top ups.

I have purchased two cat fountains, both died in like 6mo of use even with filters and careful cleaning. Cats loved them and they were purchased because they were not drinking enough.. Found out all I needed was a CHEAP larger diameter bowl as their whiskers were touching the edges and that is why they didn't drink much from other bowls.

I believe they’ve fixed the DFI issue, the new one I got maybe a year ago is a different design, with less components and they appear to be sealed. Hasn’t failed yet, fwiw.
